Mr. Trick fol- IIN this line of thought: The God in the scintific ground for crufion. apd the Word, namely a person of plan and power enables us per | to predicate certain things of His cre- ation. We m'g told that everything was good and was the culmina- ereated in the image of God, which was not phyhsieal but spiritual and moral. “God breathed inte man and man became a living soul” The image of God - demands xpirlmlllty. “God is spirit,” intelectu- “Com Jet us reason,” morality. "Be’c holy lor I am holy.” The moral is the prevailing condition during this period. This we will call innocense. The evidence of this innecense is the cendition of harmony. Man is at harmeny with God, God walks and talks with man in' the garden; bar- mony with nature, He names the an- imals; harmony with self, nakidness does not embarrass them. His is the condition in Which man came from the hand of the creator and—these rela- tions he lived in the garden of Eden. How long this lasted we do nbt know but it came to an end in what we know as the full. The fall was a rupture ef the three- fold harmony, expulsion from the gar- e beginning of sorrow. The rze invelved in the fall rests upon man. nature and the devil. The cause i of the fall was the aceeptance of the dvince of the serpent over against the d of . “The day thou catest thereof thoy shalt surely die.” “They shalt not surely die” Man is expelled from the garden but not with- out hope. ‘“The seed of the woman shall bruise the serpent's head.” Mapn leaves paradise and the first period of human existence closes, and man hasg lost his innocence.

Birds aré so hungry these cold mornings that they require feeding early, or hetter still, to haye.a sup- ly of food on the feeding places ear- ;he evening. They will usually i from six to ten o'clock in the morning and from about two un- til four in thé afternéon. The blue jay cannot mpw even find the acerns that it loves so well and eats pieces of, bread like a hungry tramp. Sup- plies are gome almest as soon as put on the shelf, The naturalist, Bur- roughs, predicted a cold winter be- cause in Nerthern Maine two .Arctic birds were seen, birds never seen 50 far sonth before. The brown crecper so small, that it does net seem ble it can stand the cold is still climbing’ up_infested trees in search of larvae. It is so like the color of the bark of the maple that except when on the move it would hardly be neticed. ' The hairy and downy weodpeckers have bored many open- ings about the size of a_pipestem in the trees near homes Up Tewn, in search ~ of ants hibernating. The downy ‘woodpecker will. come to the window sill and peck on_ the glass, and apparently wonder why it can't get to the growing plants inside. Its somewhat sharp nete ean be heard often through the winter day.- Bird observers note that the downies, said to be the best of their species for ridding trees of insects; are keen at finding fhe infested trees. The hairy woedpecker is one and one-half times iafger than the downy, but the color- ing is alike, At the Sheitering Arms, Lincoln Day was observed in a pleasant man- ner with special festivities for Miss Katharine Brennan, whose birthday tell on February 1%th, as well as did that of the Great Emancipator.

After the visitor has passed the entrance doors to the show, he will be confronted with a dazzling spec- s armory will be decorated with a bright coloring scheme which will tend to set off the wonderful dis- play of cars, The show will undoubtedly be sur-1 passed only by the Boston and Hart- ford *exhibitions and then probably only in point of cars entered, for with the elaborate decorative scheme the armory will afford @ beautiful set- ting for an automobile show. The space allotments have been snapped eagerly by the automobile dealers and visitors will have a chance to see the very latest in the various makes of automobiles from the smaller cars to the huge auto trucks.

The story tells of a_southern beauty who falls in love with Check- ers, the racc fout, He grooms a horse owned by the girl for a rich stake, and in getting the horse to the race track _encounters tremendous difficulties, His chase leads from the |gouth to New York and through Chinatown. At the last minute, just before the race is to start, the jockey is maliciously blinded. and the young gir] rides the horse to vietory. It is one of the best and most stirring pic- tures in every respeet seen here in some time. The all-stir cast head- ed by Thomas J. Carrigan and Jean Acker give an evenly balanced per- formance.

Broken Threads made the reputation of the auther ever night. The enthustasm with which the New York public greeted it was so great that the powerful play ran for six months to capacity business at the Fulton theatre. It was hailed as a tremendous ac« complishment and a step forward in sane construction. This was based on ithe fact that the author had ne ser- mon to preach, although he dwelt with the reincarnation of a lost wo- man, and the faithful love of a great big man, who knew all, yet 16ved. The author proved himself a mas- ter of depiction because he chese the racy life of ll\ Pacifie coast. He knows it well, and from it has drawn a rushing experience, @ complete story of two lives, which thrills the audience continuously, is mo let up in this speedy drama.
